Why? Do you not understand what it means and it frightens you?
Instead of cutting it out, study the bible with one of Jehovah's Witnesses and you will understand it and how important of a book it really is.

that book does harm more than good------
If a modern secular reader ... sat down and read it through for the first time, my guess would be they would find it to be extremely violent. Someone once tallied up the death count and projected it on a modern world such as ours, with five billion people, and it's absolutely a horrible kind of a statistic. You come up with maybe four billion dying of famine, war, earthquake, plagues.
Essentially it's a book about the wrath of God being poured out upon the world. People not repenting except for the small group of faithful followers of God, and this awful wicked beast power ruling the whole world, and defying God, shaking his fist at God. And finally Jesus coming, not as a Prince of Peace at all, not as a lamb, but at the end of the book, as a rider on a horse, a warrior with a sword, to smite the nations. In one of the quotes that comes to my mind it says, "He will rule the nations with a rod of iron, as a potter strikes a pot with iron and it just completely shatters." So I think that would be the dominant impression someone would get, maybe a book you'd want to close and put away and not even think about. The book that might give you nightmares at night, in terms of all of these bizarre creatures. ...

Why not?? Other books were cut out of the bible!!! If we can't read it, how do we say it's a dream.... Haven't we all had nightmares?? Revelations is just a dream, a fantasy!

Why is that? Maybe you don't like the part of those who are godless on this earth being cast into an eternal lake of fire. Sure cut the book out if you wanna. It won't change the prophecys one li't bit but maybe it'll make you feel better about yourself.

Why would you want to get rid of a book that tells us what is coming.

So we do everything the bible tells us " not " to do......and then we don't want to face the consequences in the end of it all.

Are you aware that God has dire warnings towards anyone that would add to, or take away from His word?
